I downloaded the b550 file (I am on b524), I tried to force update by power on + vol up+ vol- keys, it failed at 4%. I tried to update via *#*#2847579#*#* but it said no update file found. I havethe file on sd card root directory in dload folder (.zip file)
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Extract all files directly from the zip to the dload folder and update with *#*#2847579#*#*
[P8lite General] zia1288:
It says no upgrade file. I have copied update.zip in root dload folder.
[P8lite General] sebasty:
Same problem here, i think it need update.app not .zip, it works when you extract all zip package to dload but the version remains same B524. So where is the problem ?
[P8lite General] mariuszc702:
[MENTION=6212071]dkonect[/MENTION] as you unpack it you install only the file UPDATE.APP
[P8lite General] sebasty:
What normaly contains dload_ota folder from phone memory ?
[P8lite General] mariuszc702:
[MENTION=7246554]sebasty[/MENTION] UPDATE.APP
[P8lite General] sebasty:
So we need update.zip transformed in update.app... but I don't think it's possible
[P8lite General] mariuszc702:
so as to fit to do, but that is not possible.
[P8lite General] zia1288:
I did install this way but it is still b524
[P8lite General] sebasty:
So when the beta tester receives the update, how can upload it here ? I mean where he find the package after downloading it on the phone... and it is .app or .zip ?
[P8lite General] mariuszc702:
Folder dload_ota
[P8lite General] sebasty:
yes from there, and this package of B550 why is update.zip and not app ?
[P8lite General] mariuszc702:
I do not know where the author took the theme file update.zip

It's working.

This update wasn't not incremental update it's mean it's normally to see again B524.

but of course the system is update.

It's why on the two beta we don't have the native Updater.

The modem and the kernel was update and few other's things not directly visible
[P8lite General] dkonect:

No, why ?

If you relock your bootloader before send your device's to warranty, no trouble. Of course unroot too.

All the build you can find here was official huawei.

This is not custom rom, only official.

If anyone can try on B525 if it's working. (Follow the same's install instructions )

Can someone please help

I don't work step2 in my ALE-L02.I tried it many times, but was no use.

"software Install Failed" is displayed when I reboot.

What is the cause of the error?

and　what is balong bug?
[P8lite General] Salacue:
I was update my ALE-L21 single SIM from Lolypop to Marshmallow B525. Phone work fine, with 2 small problems. Yesterday, my phone was work, but there`s no incoming call when my wife call me. After phone restart -everything is OK. Text message from my mobile operator told me I have missed calls.

Now, i dload new beta B550 and I`ll try it.

EDIT I was try to install B550 with coping update.zip in dload folder and code *#*#2846579#*#*. "There`s no system update". Then, I`ll unzip in same folder, and there`s same problem - "There`s no system update".
[P8lite General] Online-cw:
is the battery life better in android 6 than in android 5?
[P8lite General] Soularis sun:
How you updated the system?

Can you explain.
[P8lite General] Salacue:
When was copy extracted files to my sd card in dload folder, update was founded, but in reboot there was problem "software Install Failed". :(
[P8lite General] bartouse:
Same thing for me. I'm in B188. unrooted, stock recovery.

Push the update B524 to dload folder, it restarts in stock recovery, begin to update then failed at 8%.

I tried in internal storage and SD card, same thing.

An idea?

I tried to downgrade to B052 but keep getting the "FAILED (Remote: Command not allowed)" error. Am i right in thinking the bootloader needs to be unlocked and the phone rooted first?
[P8lite General] mreps07:
:D Thank for the links and tut..I finally managed to update my ale-l02 to android MM...

I thought camera.apk will be same as of P8 with light painting feature but to my dismay..I didn't get what I expected the most feature.. lol :crying:

[MENTION=4688274]mreps07[/MENTION] hello. I have seen this features only on the Chinese beta build .

[MENTION=4494893]kh4y4m[/MENTION] unlock your bootloader is the first step.

Root is not necessary.

Flash the B550 by adb is really not helpful, it's only a little update not a entire firmware
[P8lite General] Soularis sun:
My question is that after updating to 550 does the battery life becomes better or not.
[P8lite General] mariuszc702:
no
[P8lite General] Salacue:
OK, I`ll wait for OTA update, or with HiSuite.
[P8lite General] kh4y4m:

[P8lite General] dkonect:
For have your unlock bootloader code, don't identify you by email, use a Facebook account and it's working.

Personally I didn't use Facebook but one users have had his code by this way yesterday
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Guys the battery was really good on all builds on this device.

I have many Samsung device's (s3/s4/note 3 and note 4 and few other's) and the battery life was so better on the p8 lite.

But off course you have to debloated your device's for all Google stuff and few other's system app not useful.

With greenfly and doze (come with Marshmallow) it's perfect

How to turn off vibration on notifications? Unable to find in b524.
[P8lite General] dkonect:
I think Huawei make trouble with the unlock code because they don't want all p8 user's have the beta build before they have uploaded the official.

Before this beta build announcements, in 2 min you can have your code

hello, something strange happens to me, I have now the 188 version dual sim and phone info I get right ale-21 and others, but looking at the build prop me keeps coming hi6120sft and Balong everywhere ...... ...

should not be both equal?

Thank you
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Hello, hi6120sft it's the code name of our device's. If in parameters you have ALE-L21 , no balong bug.

Also the balong bug is just a wrong information in parameters, only this.

Off course in the build prop it's hi6120sft but our device's is make for working with other's area and single/dual sim with the same's hardware with other name ALE-L21/23/02

Thanks. Hard to believe that you've never seen that issue since a lot of people world-wide is currently experiencing the double-tap issue with this handset.

How did you manage that? I updated to B550 but it still says B524 in About Phone?
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Never seen this trouble, I know it's fixed on the build B190 (europe/Germany latest firmware, and same's build than brand by Français operator,my build before upload on beta )

I write all days with my p8 lite and never seen it. (I always full wipe/format manually maybe why)
[P8lite General] dkonect:
The certification was for European countries, not only for Serbia. Also on b524/b525 it's was 2016
[P8lite General] dkonect:
For have B550 I have edited and push the build prop in the zip before reflash the update

But just like that, not useful
[P8lite General] pelukin:
Good to know that. I'm on B188 and currently experiencing the issue. I didn't know on B190 it should be fixed. I'm waiting for the final 6.0 version to update and root after that... so crossing fingers.
[P8lite General] dkonect:
The B190 works fine. I don't remember exactly now the release date, but the B190 was uploaded in February and it was 5.0.2

Links for B190 (dual sim )

[P8lite General] dkonect:
For everyone, you can try the beta, but keep in mind we have to downgrade to official when huawei push the final update for have ota. I mean 5.0.2 unroot and stock recovery .(It's why use only SU from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for can unroot in one click )

The battery life is really better in B525 but I think it's only because on the b524 the second sim need apps who's wasn't present in single variant.
[P8lite General] AmINoS007:
Seriously ? Are you sure that I must downgrade to receive the official MM ?
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Yes because on beta we didn't have the native Updater. I mean the Updater in parameters.

I'm not 100% sure but it's highly probably.

It's why I advice about this.

Also we have the beta build marshmallow but normally huawei send it only on the beta tester. (100 people ).

But we have it because tester share with us.

Personally ,for tell you what I make.

All Time I switch between build (5.0.2/5.1.1/6.0) I full wipe and format all partition with twrp and I downgrade all time.

You only need to flash by fastboot the downgrade build, before on a sd external, I pushed all the update needs inside and my device's make the update itself by the native Updater.

I think it's better to format all for don't have bugs or trouble.
[P8lite General] AmINoS007:

[P8lite General] bartouse:
I had also this problem. I was thinking that because I already be with B188 I can go directly to MM but no.

You have to downgrade, as indicated in the OP.

It will work if you follow all the steps.

I think the software updater look to the country of the original ROM, mine was French and now it is Serbian. Maybe that's the reason

[P8lite General] dkonect:
Hello, [MENTION=5615356]bartouse[/MENTION], you talking about the certification, my device's was French but the certification was serbian since stock states,(when I have unbox my p8) it's mean European only.

The downgrade process is mandatory because too many build by brands operator by this way, your device's become on a good Base and the update works fine without any trouble.

Personally I only use my laptop to downgrade(for fastboot) after I push all the updates need to a external sd, and I update directly from the p8 .

(I push the next build from my sd to the dload folder with the stock file's Explorer )
[P8lite General] bartouse:
Ok, I was thinking that my device certification was French before. The certification is Serbian for all P8 as I understand?

Excuse me but i haven't understand this: you are saying that i must downgrade to B052, then update B170 and B188 in order to receive OTA MM update (or with local update in dload folder)?

i bought p8 branded, but i've debranded following this XDA's guide: http://xdaforums.com/p8lite/general/guide-debranding-converting-single-sim-t3305977 . (So B132, then OTA B170 and by local update B188)

Thank you for the kindness.
[P8lite General] Mrmot:
If I may throw in my 2 cents. The device is CE certified for European Union, and the CE mark printed on the back of the device. In order to be sold in Serbia (which is not in EU) it had to be certified according to Serbian regulations and to obtain so called AAA mark. Since the Serbian market is rather small it was not feasible to produce additional back plates with AAA mark, so they placed the certification mark in software. If you look closely at the picture in the certification menu you will see those are 3 A letters. An also since the market is small they did not make Serbian version of the software, they just inserted the AAA picture in an European software.

BTW. AAA mark is essentially the same as CE, but since Serbia is not in EU it has another sign (why not just accept CE sign is beyond me)

Running well, but ...

Hello,

I have ALE 21 that was running stock B130 firmware

I am currently at B188

Everything running well, i noticed better battery and waiting for 6.0 upgrade

however i noticed a couple of things

I did apply the balong fix, and my phone build number shows B188

however when i do Nandroid backup using TWRP 2.8.7 and latest 3.0.0, my backup name is 2016-02-26--20-09-06_BalongC50B311

Notice the Balong in it. this if after applying the fix correctly

Also i noticed that my calendar widget only is stuck at Jan 1970, however date/time is accurate in setting

Anybody have the same issues ??? they are minor indeed
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Hello, when you make a nandroid the name balong c50b311 is normal.

It's only a code name and it's not because you have the balong bug.

With Twrp you can rename your backup.

For your meteo widget try to clear cache and data in app/ parameters
